tv   New Day Weekend with Victor Blackwell and Christi Paul  CNN  January 19, 2019 3:00am-4:01am PST

3:00 am
simple, easy and awesome. president trump just tweeted he'll be making what he calls a major announcement tomorrow, 3:00 p.m. eastern about the southern border and the shutdown. >> i can assure you that he's going to continue fighting for border security. >> we're all the blame for this, every single one of us, in washington, for making sure the government operates. it's a rare and stunning move from the special counsel. robert mueller seen with an explosive buzzfeed report alleging that president trump told michael cohen to lie to congress. and a letter for kim jong-un meant for president trump. he left with the promise of another summit.
3:01 am
this is "new day weekend" with victory blackwell and christi paul. good morning, guess what there may be movement as you wake up on the 29th day of what is now the record government shutdown. president trump is expected to make another offer to democrats this time in a speech to the white house happening this afternoon. >> a senior official says that the president will not back down for his demand for a border wall but he will offer other concessions. but this is coming after a week that saw the white house get a response from the speaker, asking the president to reschedule his state of the union speech, the move that the president responded to by sabotaging the speaker's trip to the middle east. joining from us washington, cnn reporter jeremy dimon.
3:02 am
>> well, victor, it appears that the president is poised to seize the power of the bully pulpit to capture the attention of the country. and he what-l make at this 3:00 p.m. address from the white house, expected to make his latest offer to democrats to try and end this shutdown that has stretched nearly a month, if you can actually believe it. but what we expect the president to say today, is not to necessarily back down from any of his long positions on the border wall in particular. but he will make some kind of a new offer to democrats to try and end this ongoing stalemate. but what exactly will that be? again, no movement on the border wall expected. my sources have been telling me all week that the president is not expected to move even one inch on that matter. so perhaps it's a question of funding, for example, but either way, democrats have made very clear that they do not plan to spend any money on the border wall, as long as this government shutdown is ongoing. they have urged the president to
3:03 am
open the government first, and then allow for negotiations to take place on immigration, on border security, after this is finished. the president, though, is still making his case to the country. he posted a video on twitter as well, saying that the country would be sad and a foolish lot if we do not take action on border security. and so far, democrats, again, sticking to their guns. but we will see if the president's speech this afternoon will make any waves and signal any possible movement. aside from that, as this immigration debate is ongoing, the president is expected to attend a naturalization ceremony just today. we'll see for whom that is. the white house so far not providing any details. >> all right. expect something enhancements or sweeteners for democrats in this speech. jeremy diamond, thanks so much. cnn political commentator airline louis is with us now.
3:04 am
errol, do you see anything that the president would offer for them to take? >> no, i can't imagine what it would be that is why we're going to be watching this afternoon. the polls suggest everything that we've heard from the democratic leadership suggest that the democratic officials themselves and the base that elected them to give them this historic win in november, that they don't want any part of that for the government and the entire bargaining position of the white house is not something that the democrats feel they can accept politically. >> lines have been drawn, with border security, the wall has to be addressed before reopening the government. the democrats say we're not going to reopen the government without some sort of -- we're not going to give you border security. we have to open the government first. if one of them moved, let's say first they made a provision, if they made some sort of edge over that red line that they've both established, would they be seen
3:05 am
as weak or as eyeas a hero? >> well, there's hope they'll be seen, and what actually happens here. christi, as far as the reality of it, the polls suggest that an overwhelming majority of democrats and democrat-leaning independents think that a wall wouldn't work, that it's just a bad idea in the first place, so, you know -- and the majority of -- a solid majority -- >> at the end of the day, both dems and republicans say we do need border security. this is about a number, about 5.2 or $5.6 billion that the president is talking about. or it's about saving face politically? >> well, you know, when it comes to saving face politically, there have been multiple opportunities. i mean, there were lots of compromises that were offered in the 115th congress before the democrats even took the majority, keeping in mind there was a republican majority. and they couldn't get a deal. you know, the reality is, there are a lot of people, especially
3:06 am
in some of the border regions, some of the republican congressmembers, as a matter of fact, think that the wall is a complete waste of time, complete waste of money, at a level where there is no acceptable number other than zero. and that's the hard truth that the president has been unable to kind of digest and maneuver through. the reality is, he's going to have to decide whether he wants to play to the republican base for which the shutdown and the wall are both somewhat acceptable. and everybody else who finds individually, and certainly a trade one or the other, is completely unacceptable. >> so, at the end of the day, we've got people who have bills to pay. we have people who have children to take care of, who are sick, who need medication, who are selling all kinds of things online that they value just to try to pay their rent. let's listen to tsa employee robert timmons, and he was in line, yesterday, to get food from a food bank.
3:07 am
>> the president and the congress, we pay them to take care of business of the united states. they are not taking care of business, and they want to put the blame on the people, that's not fair. >> so, cnn's reporting is that most lawmakers, errol, as we know it, they're gone for the weekend. there have been no meetings, no calls, no proposals shared between white house and congressional demes in the last couple of days. you've got the tsa officials, you know, the air traffic controllers, they're still working without pay. with that said, should congress be at it right now? how can they go home? >> they're going to get an earful if they do go home. here in new york city, we've done some reporting where there are about 18,000 coast guard families here, they're holding food drives for them. they're showing up at food
3:08 am
pantries, christi, it's disgusting, it's outrageous. the hidden person in this, by the way, mitch mcconnell, the senator majority leader who could probably end this in a matter of hours by simply putting an order on the floor that has passed unanimously to reopen the government, the pressure that's going to descend on him from all of his members, from many of his members, is going to be one of the deciding factors in ending this. i don't know that the white house has the juice or political incentive, frankly, to end this. >> one other quick question here. the president can tout some pretty decent numbers when it comes to the economy. this is pretty certainly going to affect those numbers negative negatively, with that said, there's job growth and wages, that's good right now, once those deflate and those die, is that an incentive, do you think,
3:09 am
for the president to turn those things around? >> well, sure. listen, it's a lagging indicator. to the point that you see a quarter point coming off gdp each week from the shutdown, it's not going to be felt for a few weeks, but if the economists are right, it is going to happen. and to the extent that wall street disregards these thing and you've got an entirely kind of casino going on, as far as the value of stocks, we're going to continue to report that. but the pain is going to be felt out of the country. it will take a few weeks to figure out exactly how bad it is, and it will be blamed on the white house. >> errol louis, appreciate your insight, sir. thank you. let's talk about this very rare statement now from special council robert mueller's office. they're disputing aspects of a buzzfeed report that the president told his former lawyer to lie to congress. here's sara murray. >> reporter: the special counsel's office on friday, taking an extraordinary step and disputing a report in buzzfeed
3:10 am
news. the report had said that president donald trump had convinced his longtime personal attorney michael cohen to lie to congress about the moscow deal. we rarely hear from the special counsel's office. here's what peter carr said in a statement, buzzfeed's description of the specific statements to the special counsel's office and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office regarding michael cohen's congressional testimony are not accurate, peter carr said. and we got a message from buzzfeed saying we are kroare c to report and determine what wha the special counsel reported. we saw a number of lawmakers coming out on the buzzfeed storying, saying if this is true, if donald trump did in fact try to obstruct justice, that is grounds to move forward and begin with impeachment proceedings.
3:11 am
one of the big questions for lawmakers they wanted to seed underlying documents that the buzzfeed report was based on. saying look, these underlying documents, witness interviews, they do not show what the buzzfeed story says they're going to show. and it's so rare, so rare, for the special counsel to speak out about anything. last year, they refused to comment to "the new york times" about what one of their prosecutors was having for lunch. such an extraordinary day. president trump's attorney rudy giuliani tweeted his response to the special counsel's statement. he said this, here's part of it, i commend bob mueller's office for correcting the buzzfeed false story that president trump encouraged cohen to lie. now the doj must reveal the leakers of this false story which the press and democrats gleefully embraced. and maybe house dems should wait to investigate before the mueller report is filed. >> we're going to have more on that, of course, throughout the morning. and if you are in cleveland,
3:12 am
detroit, chicago, the northeast, might look good out the window now. guess what, there are 100 million of you who are going to be battling dangerous snow and dangerous, dangerous ice over the next 24 hours. we're going to talk about exactly is coming your way. plus, dozens injured and forced to leave their homes when a massive gasoline pipeline explodes. val, vern... i'm off to college and i'm not gonna be around...

3:17 am
two weeks. mexico's president is meeting with officials in that area now. so, the white house said president trump and north korean leader kim jong-un will meet for a second summit next month. >> the president spent 90 minutes talking to north korea's negotiator in the oval office. good morning, matt, what are you hearing from there? >> reporter: good morning, it's interesting that meeting between kim yong-chol north korea's top negotiator went for 90 minutes. initially, we were expecting a meet and greet but it went for a full 90 minutes. both sides have a lot to talk about. what we know, according to press secretary sarah sanders kim jong-un and president trump could be having a summit very soon. current date is late february though we don't have a specific date yet. nor do we know exactly what the conversation that went on
3:18 am
yesterday in the oval office, but what the agenda could be for a second summit for trump and kim. what we do know after the first summit in june 2018 it appears there hasn't been a lot of progress made towards trying to get north korea to denuclearize to tear down its nuclear program. publicly there have no verified steps, things that are concrete that would show that north korea is doing what the united states wants it to do, which is to tear down its nuclear program. so this second summit perhaps another chance for president trump to convince kim jong-un it's the right way to go. and for kim jong-un to convince donald trump to take those sanctions on north korea for a while now off the table. >> hey, matt, how about a location? any idea of where it would be? >> yeah, it seems it's going to be no warm climate. last one was in singapore. cnn has reported u.s. teams have scouted out locations including taiwan, vietnam and even hawaii.
3:19 am
officials have told cnn there could be other locations beyond those three. we know those three have been scouted so far, though final determination has been set as of yet. not a lot of time to figure out as that summit takes place in late february. >> just a few weeks. matt river with us. matt, thanks so much. lindsey graham is in turkey and he's criticizing saudi arabia while he's there. the republican senator has been outspoken regarding president trump's decision to pull out of syria. he met with the turkish president to discuss the war in syria. this morning, graham weighed in on saudi arabia's allege role in the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi. >> the brutal murder of mr. khashoggi in turkey, violating every norm of international behavior, i have concluded that the relationship between saudi arabia and the united states cannot move
3:20 am
forward until mbs has been dealt with. >> and senator graham did travel to turkey on a commercial airline because of the government shutdown. yeah, it's coming. it's coming for a lot of people. more than 100 million people are under some type of winter weather alert from the midwest to the northeast. all happening this weekend. >> you expect snow, but it's the ice that is expected with this that can be really damaging. heavy rains, severe weather could slam the south in the meantime. cnn's meteorologist allison chinchar in the cnn weather center with the latest. mother nature is none too happy it seems? >> no, she's giving us a little bit of everything, as we take a look. on the southern edge of this storm, we see that lightning, houston, memphis, mississippi, waking up to hear that thunder. but it's the northern edge of this, this is where the biggest
3:21 am
issues are going to occur. it's snowing in chicago, detroit. we're getting awfully close for a city like, say, indianapolis. it's hard to tell, the one thing you focus on is the poor visibility. and that is going to impact pretty much of all of this area that you see here. anywhere you see pink or people, those are people under the winter weather alerts. it stretches from missouri all the way to maine. we've got snow, ice, everything mixed in. here's that low pressure system. it's going to impact the midwest mostly this morning, but move into areas of the northeast really by dinnertime tonight. the concern is, say, by 8:00 tonight, you've got very heavy snow for a city like cleveland, but you've got ice for cities like cincinnati, columbus, pittsburgh. snow will start off in new york city. but new york city is going to end up with everything. starting with snow. transitioning to ice and freezing rain. and going to rain. back again to snow, once the storm wraps back up. and you get those wrap-around
3:22 am
moisture bands that will come back. the question is, how much will everyone get. a lot of that depends on this track. if this low shifts as much as 20 or 30 miles, it can make a huge difference in the amount of snow and ice a lot of people get. this is our best thought as of right now, what we are going with, places like columbus, cleveland, you can get 8 to 12 inches out of this. notice interior new england, 18, 20, even 24 inches is not out of the question for some of these locations. again, look at the ice. yes, it is possible, you could have some places that pick up an inch of ice. that will trigger widespread power outages and unfortunately, also cause a lot of travel delays. obviously, you think about it on the roads, but also airways, cities like chicago, cincinnati, cleveland, new york, boston, all expected to have significant delays not only today but also tomorrow. but also take a look at atlanta, that city is likely going to have travel problems, too. but not necessarily for the
3:23 am
winter aspects of this storm, victor and christi, it's actually going to be severe weather. the main threats here, damaging winds and tornadoes. >> good heavens, everybody hunker down. take it easy, mom and dad. thank you. still to come, the government shutdown is making some people pretty desperate. we see federal workers and their families lining up for blocks for food at grocery stores and food banks across the country. we'll talk to the ceo of one of those food banks in atlanta, about how they're handling the surge. that's next. that your ancestors are from, but ancestrydna showed me the specific places they called home. 20 million members have connected to a deeper family story. order your kit at ancestry.com. to a deeper family story. our big idaho potato truck and we're going to find it. awe man. always look for the grown in idaho seal.

3:28 am
pizzas to his secret service detail. the agents aren't getting paid as a result of this. he said it's sometime for leaders on both sides to put politics aside and end this. one coast guard pilot tells cnn, some of their fellow pilots, at least one air station are cancelling flights. other units are considering scaling back flights because pilots are stressed. they're distracted and they feel unsafe to fly because of the shutdown. we are also seeing cars line up in parking lots for groceries at food banks across the country, in addition to the people that they already serve, here's the thing, food pantries are helping their furloughed workers and their families. >> here to discuss is the ceo of feed the hungry, a food pantry here in atlanta. thank you for being with us, this saturday. >> thank you. >> what are you seeing, because
3:29 am
we see across the country an increase in federal workers who now after missing that first pay are desperate looking for food? what are you seeing at the organization? >> we're basically seeing a lot of people that have never come to us before, first of all, because they have regular jobs, were getting paid regularly. so, now, they find themselves on the far end of this situation. but the people we've been serving all along know what it's like because they've been going through it. but this is traumatic for a family that has never had to worry about where my food is coming from. >> and they have to set aside a considerable amount of pride to come and get in line and ask for a box of food. we understand the group handed out some boxes of food, what, just a couple days ago? >> yes, at least 200 families affected, half are minors. that's the part that get to us. these babies shouldn't have to suffer because of lack of imagination by the powers that

be. but what better time for us to rise up as a civil rights organization, because that's what we were birthed out of, and meet with dr. king at 90 years old would have been saying my heart is broken for what's happening and sent his troops out there. that's what we've come from, the hosea williams, put your boots on the street. you have to go out. so, we're not waiting for them to come to. osea feed the hungry's office, we're actually going out to where they are, apartment complex, churches, wherever it is, we give the churches food to help. we give schools, other social service organizations, the ability to be able to help. and dr. king's birthday is a sign that we will come together and we are going to be victorious by the time all of this really is over. >> so, i understand that there's a special dedication of your annual event of dr. martin luther king's birthday.
3:31 am
tell us about that and how that relates to the shutdown for the federal workers? >> we could do nothing less. this is the most perfect thing to do to honor dr. king, hosea king, all of the great leaders that taught us, my wife, elizabeth, how to do this. to do anything less -- i mean, parades are fine. i'm not knocking anything. but you have to put action to the hurting people who say what are you going to do? it doesn't matter, buddhist, muslim, black, jew, white, this is about people coming together and continuing the legacy of dr. martin luther king jr. in the highest way possible. >> now, you have extra families that need help because of the shutdown, because of the furlou furloughs, but this is traditionally, a difficult time for food banks, for charities, because you're coming right off the holidays.
3:32 am
>> you just spoke it right there. people are willing to give from a window, let's say, october through the end of december. after that, the window starts closing down. and now, with the need coming from more families, we're hard-pressed to try to meet the greater demand. but we have no choice but to go into the bottom of what we have and pull it all out for these families because but for the grace of god, it could be me. two or three paychecks, i don't know what my life would be like, and many americans. but this is the way atlanta is saying we will stand by these dedicated workers. many are heartbroken, feeling betrayed, 20, 30 years of faithful, local work to a government, and now you have to question where you get your meals. >> well, i thank you for the work that you do. listen, i know people have to give around the holiday around. but children have to eat every day not just when there are
